I appear to have my first fault on my 5 yr old V8. There is condensation in the left rear light and this evening it gave an error on the info display stating left indicator had failed. Interestingly it hadn't and appear to be working fine.

Any ideas on the cost of replacement or if there are any repairs that can be done?

Many thanks

I've done Aston's service bulletin for taillight condensation myself on both my rear lights in order to fix the problem. I had a hard time removing the last bit of condensation using my air compressor as suggested, so I wound up putting the light in my kitchen oven in very low heat to let the moisture escape via the hole you have to drill.

Thanks very much. Thought there might be a "hole trick".

Is it easy to remove the light assembly?
